Chapter 111: The Silver Face is Bloodstained
And at this time, the masked man's arm was cut open by the sharp sword qi, and the white bones of the forest were already exposed, even though the masked man did not feel pain, but the person was a human after all, and the body was broken, how could the skill continue? Seeing the masked man's figure flickering, Dao Xueke knew that he was already at the end of the strong crossbow, so he forcibly condensed his internal force to enhance the power of the sword qi. The Folding Snow Sword gradually pressed down, one inch, two inches, and went straight to the masked man.
Lijiang wine was healing Zhu Qingqiu and Ren Shanhuai in the house, hearing the roar outside the house, the grass house also trembled, and the roof beams had signs of breaking, although they were also worried about Dao Xueke and others, but they couldn't distract Zhu Qingqiu and the others, so they used internal force to protect the hall and temporarily keep the house.
The masked man struggled to support, and finally it was difficult to resist anymore, his legs bent and knelt on the ground, his arms trembled violently, blood dripped to the ground through the gaps in the mask, and the terrifying internal force that had been supported for a long time instantly dissipated, and the masked man tilted his head, his godless eyes were full of bloodshots, it seemed that the meridians were damaged, and his life was already on the verge of death. The sword snowman was no longer able to support it, and finally slashed out a sword, and then fell, and the snow folding sword was stuck diagonally on the ground, supporting the half-kneeling body of the sword snowman.
The last crimson sword qi roared and flew towards the masked man, hitting his dark iron mask, the sword qi dissipated, and the masked man fell backwards and fell to the ground. The blood oozing from under his body gathered into pools, but the masked man was not dead. The wind subsided, the leaves fell all over the ground, the blood flowed like a river, the flying sand and rocks gradually stopped, and there was silence all around. It was already a mess in the grass house of Lijiangjiu, but the strange tranquility after the war was incompatible with the earth-shattering sound of Fang Cai, as if none of this had happened, and it seemed to indicate that this tragedy had not yet ended.
Everyone thought that the masked man had already been killed, and he was about to stand up with his body supported by the wall, and with a "snort", the masked man stood up straight again, blocking in front of everyone. "Could it be...... Is it a zombie?" asked Rao Mengli timidly. Luo Baiyi wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth, and said with a sneer: "I don't believe that there are any zombies in this world!" With that, he punched the back of the masked man, and there were two blood holes in the back of the man, which were the scars left by Liu Yuanjun's two guns. Rao Mengli was about to stop him, but Ke Luo Baiyi took the lead and hit the back of the masked man with a punch.
Luo Baiyi only felt that he had hit the pig iron, and his finger bones had been numb. The masked man turned around slowly, staring at Luo Baiyi and Rao Mengli with empty eyes, the two snuggled together, and also looked at the masked man. Chu Qing'an, who was on the side, endured the pain and limped to Dao Xueke's side, leaning down to help him: "Brother Xue, are you okay? I'll help you up, come." With Chu Qing'an's support, Dao Xueke slowly stood up and pulled out the Folding Snow Sword, but his eyes were always vigilantly staring at the back of the masked man, for fear that he would go crazy again.
The subtle cracking sound of "click" came into everyone's ears, and when they heard the sound and looked, they saw that the mask man's dark iron mask had cracked several times, and the silver ash fragments peeled off from the vicissitudes of life one by one, falling to the ground, and the crisp impact sound was like a sharp sword and steel knife, inserted into the hearts of Rao Mengli and Luo Baiyi in front of the mask man. When the mask completely burst open and turned into shards all over the ground, Xiao Wuxi's expressionless old face was revealed.
Luo Baiyi's face was as pale as earth, and Rao Mengli's face was even pale, both of them couldn't believe what they saw in front of them, the monster who had fought with them for a long time and almost killed them all turned out to be the father who had raised him for more than ten or twenty years, and was his most beloved father. "Father......" Rao Mengli called softly, her voice trembling, she couldn't believe her eyes, everything that happened tonight was like a nightmare she hadn't woken up yet, and her amber eyes were already full of tears, sliding down her cheeks. Luo Baiyi didn't want to believe that the person who fought with him was actually his father, he shook his head vigorously, but there were three points of crying in his voice: "Impossible, impossible, just kidding!" He staggered forward, threw Xiao Wuxian to the ground, pressed on his body, punched Xiao Wuxian in the chest, and was still crying: "Look at what a joke! You must be fake! It's fake! Give your father back!"
Dao Xueke heard Luo Baiyi wail like this, and he also walked towards Xiao Wuxian in surprise, leaving a bloody footprint on the ground with every step, he is now exhausted and seriously injured, and if he is not treated, I am afraid that he will be in danger. But when he saw with his own eyes that the masked man turned out to be his most trusted and relied on relative Xiao Wuxian other than Liu Yuanjun, his heart finally collapsed, leaned back and spurted out a mouthful of blood, and collapsed weakly to the ground, Chu Qing'an hurriedly supported him, hugged him in his arms and cried: "Brother Xue, what's wrong with you, don't scare Qing'an, Brother Xue......" When Chu Qing'an cried, she also glanced at the masked man, sure enough, it was Xiao Wuxian, she was also so shocked that she covered her mouth, and said in disbelief: "This, this is really Xiao Wuxian Hall Master?"
Under Luo Baiyi's punch after punch, the bone flute on Xiao Wuxian's waist fell to the ground, Rao Mengli hurriedly picked up the bloodstained bone flute and held it in his hand, and then pulled the almost crazy Luo Baiyi, tore him off Xiao Wuxian's body, and begged: "Brother Luo, don't fight, don't fight again......" In the midst of everyone's surprise, the blood stains on Xiao Wuxian's face cracked again, and the familiar face split into several pieces and fell aside, and under the resin mask was an unfamiliar face.
Seeing this, the four of them were puzzled again, Luo Baiyi grabbed a mask and handed it to Rao Mengli, Rao Mengli rubbed it for a while, then raised his head and said to Luo Baiyi: "Transfiguration technique!" Luo Baiyi thought for a while and said with a forced smile: "This, this must be sent by Ying Wuji, sent to pretend to be a father, wanting to confuse us, not wanting this transfiguration technique to be broken by us, this must be a father, yes, yes, it must not be." He repeatedly emphasized that he wanted to make himself believe first, but Rao Mengli and others were skeptical. Rao Mengli looked at the bone flute in his hand and asked, "If this person is not the father, then where is the father? Why is this bone flute in this person, is it that the father has ......?"
Sheng Mohai and Nan Xiangzi, who had been in a coma for a while, slowly stood up, and seeing this situation, Nan Xiangzi couldn't help laughing: "I see." ”
"What are you laughing at!" Luo Baiyi was already a little angry.
"It turns out that the person sent by the prince to pick us up is our old friend, Xiao Farewell. Nan Xiangzi laughed sharply. "Xiao Farewell?" everyone asked suspiciously, "What are your intentions?, who is Xiao Farewell, and where is our Xiao Wuxian Hall Master?"
Sheng Mohai and Nan Xiangzi glanced at each other, Nan Xiangzi looked at everyone contemptuously, and then said: "Xiao Farewell is Xiao Wuxi, Xiao Wuxian is Xiao Bifarewell." When Dao Xueke heard this, blood gushed out of his mouth again, which frightened Chu Qing'an a lot, and he hurriedly tore off the strip of cloth from his clothes to stop the bleeding from his wound. Luo Baiyi was even more angry, punched Nan Xiangzi, spit in his mouth, and roared angrily: "What do you say!" But his center of gravity was unstable, and he was easily overthrown to the ground by Nan Xiangzi. "Yin and Yang Devouring Heart Palm Xiao Farewell, is one of the eight masters under the command of the Tanglin King, disappeared in the rivers and lakes ten years ago, since then there is no Yin and Yang Devouring Heart Palm on the rivers and lakes, there is one more ghost flute fairy, Xiao Wuxian. He thought he had no trace, but now, he died at the hands of the children he raised, hahaha. Nan Xiangzi stroked his beard and laughed loudly, and Sheng Mohai both took off into the air, and the figures of the two quickly disappeared into the sky, leaving only one sentence echoing in everyone's ears: "If you want to know the truth about Kexue Mountain Villa ten years ago, come to Tanglin Mansion." ”
Just when everyone was skeptical and hesitant, the so-called Xiao Bieli stood up again, slowly raised his broken hands, and slapped it at Rao Mengli, Luo Baiyi saw this, and flew up and saw him kick to the ground, Luo Baiyi wanted to step forward to understand Xiao Bieli's life, but Rao Mengli hugged his waist. "Xiaoli, what are you doing, let go of me, I'm going to kill this monster!"
"Don't, Brother Luo, don't......" Rao Mengli burst into tears, shook her head and wailed, her tears had soaked the hem of Luo Baiyi's clothes, "No wonder we are so familiar when we see him, no wonder I feel a little kind about him, because he is our father! Whether he is Xiao Wuxian or Xiao Bieli, he is our father, who has raised us for more than ten years, taught us martial arts, taught us literacy, and cares about us and loves us!"
"He's not a father!" Luo Baiyi trembled, the corners of his eyes were red, and he shouted hoarsely, "Xiao Wuxian is our father, he is just a monster! A monster pretending to be a father! Father must still be by Brother Feng's side now, in Tanglin Mansion, how could he come here!Xiaoli, don't believe them, let me go and let me kill him!" Rao Mengli desperately pulled Luo Baiyi, Luo Baiyi finally had weak legs, knelt on the ground, and cried silently. Rao Mengli climbed to Xiao Bieli's side, shook his arm and called: "Father, wake up, wake up and see, I am Xiaoli, I am your daughter, father ......"
But Na Xiao Beili heard Rao Mengli's call, a trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes, and he slowly raised his hand to touch Rao Mengli's cheek, Rao Mengli stopped crying, she could perceive that the love in Xiao Bieli's eyes was clearly the way her father looked at her on weekdays, and she burst into tears and smiled: "Father...... Ah-" Rao Mengli suddenly screamed, Luo Baiyi hurriedly looked up, only to see that Xiao parting and madness, looking up to the sky and howling, just scratched Rao Mengli's white and tender pretty face with one claw, leaving three blood marks, Rao Mengli covered her face and fell to the ground, tears gushing up, still looking at Xiao Farewell, refusing to give up the obsession in her heart.
Luo Baiyi hurriedly came to Rao Mengli's side, pushed Xiao Bieli away, and turned around to hug Rao Mengli. Rao Mengli grabbed Luo Baiyi's arm and looked at Luo Baiyi's eyes and cried and said: "Brother Luo, he is really a father, really, the look he looked at me just now, it must be ......" Luo Baiyi tore off his shirt and covered the scars on Rao Mengli's face with strips of rags, but the wound was too deep, and the blood gushing out quickly stained the thin strip of cloth red. Luo Baiyi said distressedly: "Xiaoli, don't be stupid anymore! He's a monster, not a father! When we recover from our injuries, my brother will take you to Tanglin Mansion, my father must still be there, he must still be there, you must still be there, don't be stupid, okay......" The voice became smaller and smaller, and finally, the brother and sister hugged their heads and cried.
Xiao Beili, who was pushed down by Luo Baiyi, fell in front of Dao Xueke's eyes, Dao Xueke reached out to the Xuexue Sword beside him, pressed the tip of the sword against the ground, stood up with his body, gently pushed away Chu Qing'an, who came to support him, and dragged the Xuexue Sword to Xiao Beili again. The tip of the Snow Folding Sword swept across the stone floor, splashing sparks and making an extremely piercing grinding sound. Staggered to Xiao Beili's side, Dao Xueke held the hilt of the sword with both hands, and slowly raised the Xuexue Sword, Chu Qingan covered his mouth in surprise, Rao Mengli saw this, broke free from Luo Baiyi's embrace, stumbled and knelt at the foot of Dao Xueke and hugged Dao Xueke's left leg, looked at Dao Xueke with tears, and begged bitterly: "Brother Xue, don't, you can't kill him, he is the hall master, he has raised you for ten years, and he is also your father......"
The corners of Dao Xueke's mouth twitched, he cried and laughed twice, and two tears dripped from his empty eyes: "The hatred of destroying the door is not shared with the sky......"
"That's not him, no, there must be a reason for this, it's not true, my father never mentioned Ying Wuji, he can't be Ying Wuji's subordinate. Brother Xue, you can't kill him, you can't......" Rao Mengli still refused to believe that Xiao Wuxian was Ying Wuji's subordinate.
"Hmph, of course he didn't dare to mention it, he hid it for ten years, deceived me for ten years, isn't it enough......" Dao Xueke sneered, but the Xuexue Sword in his hand did not fall for a long time, "Didn't you hear, Xiao Wuxian is Xiao Bieli, Xiao Bieli is Xiao Wuji, he is simply one of Ying Wuji's eight subordinates, that is, the man in black who went up the mountain to kill dozens of lives in my Kexue Mountain Villa ten years ago...... He also took me in for ten years under the pretense of helping me find out the truth, but he knew everything...... The person closest to me turned out to be a master of disguise arts, who deceived me for so long, and now that the enemy is in front of me, how can you let me not take revenge?"
Dao Xueke's voice was extremely weak, if there was nothing, and there was a trace of bitterness, a trace of helplessness, a trace of pain, and a trace of anger in his tone.
Rao Mengli sat weakly at the feet of Dao Xueke, slowly let go of his hands, leaned forward, and fell to the ground. Rao Mengli knelt at the feet of Dao Xueke and slowly kowtowed, and Rao Mengli, who was trembling all over, kowtowed while crying and begging: "If Brother Xue wants revenge, Xiaoli is willing to bear all the sins for his father...... I just beg Brother Xue to let it go, my father ......" Luo Baiyi behind Rao Mengli couldn't cry anymore, closed his eyes tightly, and couldn't bear to look at the scene in front of him.
And Chu Qing'an ran to Dao Xueke's side, holding Dao Xueke's raised hands and persuading: "There must be a misunderstanding here, Brother Xue must not fall for the tricks of traitors!"
The closest person in the world today is the enemy who killed his whole family, if the father-like and kind hall master deceived him for ten years, and the most beloved sister who accompanied him for ten years knelt at his feet, but he did not have the courage to kill the enemy who was close at hand, Dao Xueke's mind was in a mess, and suddenly his blood rushed straight to his brain, his eyes were dark, and the snow sword in his hand fell to the ground, and fell straight down. Vaguely, he vaguely heard the call of Chu Qing'an and Rao Mengli, as if water fell on his face, a trace of coldness spread on his cheeks, and only endless thunder was left in his ears, Dao Xueke felt that he had fallen into an endless abyss, unable to reach the bottom, and gradually lost consciousness.
The five members of the Chaoying Clan, who had fled down the mountain earlier, came to the foot of the mountain, and only found Xuanyi who was still unconscious around the camp, but the other four women were nowhere to be found, and even the bonfire had been extinguished. When Zhongli Qiu took out the fire fold and lit the bonfire, and everyone took a torch to look for the four girls, Yuli suddenly tripped over some knife and fell to the ground, and her hands seemed to be stained with some viscous liquid, and there was a strong fishy smell, and when she stood up and looked down, she let out an exclamation. Sima Xuan, Zhong Liqiu, Liang Ge and Jiang Jiang hurriedly rushed to her side, and when everyone came here with torches, they also exclaimed again and again, the land within dozens of steps here was stained red with blood, and the bodies of the four women were also here, not far away, but they were already broken bodies, and there were no dead bodies, looking at the expression of the corpse, they still maintained the horror when they were dying.
Yuli and Liangge couldn't help covering their mouths, tears rolling in their eyes, they were sisters who had been together for many years, but they didn't want to come to the Central Plains once, they actually lost four people, and they all died so miserably. And not far away lies the corpse of the green fox. The death was also extremely tragic. "Damn, what kind of person is such a cruel attack! If I had known it, I would have cut him with a thousand knives! I would have avenged them!" Zhongli roared angrily.
Sima Xuan squatted down to examine the wounds of the five corpses, and couldn't help but look pale and didn't speak. Jiang Jiangtian asked: "Big brother, you may see who they died at? Was it the Central Plains martial arts people?" Sima Xuan shook his head and said slowly: "I can't see it, I can only judge that they all died at the hands of strong people with high internal strength, and they were all killed by sneak attacks and killed without defense, and their martial arts are unorganized, I have never seen them." ”
"So what are we going to do now? Big brother, you say, we all listen to you. Zhong Liqiu looked at Sima Xuan and said, everyone's eyes were also focused on Sima Xuan, waiting for him to make a decision. Sima Xuan's eyes closed slightly, and he sighed and said: "Bury the four of Yanxin, you are all injured, after burying the four of them, we will take Xuanyi, and now we will recuperate for some time in the Qianyun Mansion, and then set off back to the Qunying Palace, the top of the mountains." ”
"But not only did we fail to bring back the Knife Snowman, but we also lost four people. The Holy One will condemn us for sin. If you go back, I'm afraid that it will be more than lucky. Jiang Jiangtian was a little melancholy and said worriedly. Seeing that everyone was embarrassed, Sima Xuan was very firm: "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die." Even if we fail to complete our mission and commit a capital crime, we must go back and die generously. ”
